Amanda Beseda Scientific Method/Pendulum Exercise Worksheet 1. What is the difference between an observation and an inference? Observations are based on collecting knowledge through our senses. An inference is making an educated guess based on observation. 2. In doing science‚ why are hypotheses either supported or not supported‚ but never proved beyond all doubt? There are many other factors that could be unknown and new data could be found in the future to support or not support a hypothesis

in humans (Caplan‚ 286). The most well known experiments in this regard were the experiments conducted on twins at Auschwitz. The other goal of the Nazi scientists was to provide human data that could be applied to the war effort. Experimentation of this sort mainly probed the extremes‚ which the human body could tolerate in a hostile environment. The most famous experiment of this sort was the Dachau Hypothermia Study.’ The rationale of the experiments was as follows: "A consequence of air combat

Crater Design Experiment Aim: To see how the height in which the ball is dropped from affects the depth of the crater. Hypothesis: I predict that as the height in which the ball is dropped from increases‚ so does the depth of the crater (the data will be directly proportional). The scientific knowledge which supports this is that the golf ball has a gravitational potential energy which increases as the ball is dropped from higher heights. When the height increases the ball gains more gravitational

DECIDE TO USE THIS? 1 Large potato I chose to use potato cells to investigate osmosis as it is a plant cell and has a semi-permeable membrane and allows the diffusion of water across it. Sharp Knife To cut the potato into several strips 50ml of the following molar of sugar solution: 1.5M‚ 1.75M‚ 2.00M‚2.25M‚2.5M (sucrose) The different concentration of sucrose solutions will determine the diffusion of water molecules. 6 Petri dishes To carry the experiment in it.

An experiment by FACUNDO LOPEZ MENTOS GEYSER CARBONATED DRINKS AND MENTOS PROBLEM STATEMENT: WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF MENTOS ON CARBONATED DRINKS? BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The soda contain sweeteners (sugar or artificial sweeteners) flavoring‚ water and preservatives. Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is added to the soda trough a high pressure process that causes the gas to dissolve into the liquid‚ when the soda is opened the gas is relieved

Hypothesis: I think more expensive paper towels are more absorbent than less expensive paper towels. Experiment: Controls: Same amount of water for each paper towel; same size paper towel used; the same surface used in each attempt; process to determine the amount of water left; the water will be left on the paper towel for the same amount of time; test all three brands on the same day and time of day. Procedure 1. Cut paper towels into 10 cm x 12 cm squares. 2. Lay one square of Bounty paper towel in the

Experiment No. 1: MELTING POINT AND BOILING POINTS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ABSTRACT The properties of organic compounds depend on their chemical structures. Intermolecular forces of attraction affect physical properties such as melting and boiling point. Through the Thomas Hoover apparatus‚ the melting point of 8 test compounds was determined. Salicylic acid exhibited the highest melting point while naphthalene‚ the lowest. The stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction‚ the higher the melting

I choose this experiment because i like doing stuff( projects‚ experiments.) in sports. I think this is a good experiment is a really fun and it falls good in the topic. I also chose this experiment because i think it’s really easy to do by yourself and i have all the materials to conduct it. i also chose this experiment because i’m kind of like an expert in this topic because i have been in football for like 3 years so i think i know alot about the balls grip and how it affects the length.

AIM: To carry out a lab experiment to decompose a carbonate using heat‚ also to carry out appropriate tests for the formation of products as a result of this decomposition. DISSCUSION: Carbonates are decomposed by heat into the corresponding oxides and carbon dioxide. The temperature of decomposition depends upon the activity of the metal; that is to say‚ the more active the metal‚ the more stable is the carbonate. Thus‚ the carbonates of sodium and potassium are stable at the highest temperature
